Virtualization technology originated on mainframe computers in the 1960s to more efficiently utilize processing power. Early virtualization methods were difficult to manage for dynamic business needs. This led to innovations in virtualization strategies and technologies over time. Key developments included the first hypervisor in 1965, IBM's CP-40 implementation in the 1970s, and increased popularity on personal computers in the 1980s-1990s. VMware introduced desktop and server virtualization products in the late 1990s and 2000s that helped drive broader adoption.

1. History of Virtualization
In 2015 I bought a laptop. I don’t know how to use it. I faced many difficulties .but after I am
using laptop we knew everything that how to search it .My teacher assign the topic of
virtualization to whole class. I was just little bit knew about Virtualization.
Virtualization means that we can create thing in virtual not in reality. e.g. version of operating
Systems.
In operating systems we can use hardware virtually by using virtualization technology. Although
the hardware doesn’t exist in reality .It can act as a hardware and can perform all the
functionality .I only knew that knowledge about virtualization. Then the main topic is what is the
history of virtualization.
Virtualization technology start on mainframes that can allow the administrators to avoid the
wastage of processing power. IT administrators who can work on virtualization technology
realized that traditional methods for managing the platform of virtualization is very difficult.
This platform was not so effective for long lasting . we cannot manage dynamic business
requirements by using traditional methods .so they focused and realized that they can innovate
new methods for business or any other things that are related to virtualization .Their demands are
faster growing, demands are high, people demand the security on operating system so that no one
can hack your operating system, installation purpose and upgrading requests were also increased.
Management issues, server handling, recovery issues, automation. for these reasons and demands
from customers a new technology / strategy evolve called virtualization.
Virtualization can change many things .it can change the hardware resources and decrease the
energy cost .it also plays an effective role in clod computing.
 1965:
1st phrase of Hypervisor introduced .A hypervisor is also called virtual machine manager. It a
piece of software that can installed in a hardware. It can allow us to use the multiple operating
systems on hardware.IBM associated with software.
 Cp -40
IBM develop a cp-40. It is used for implementation of full virtualization.
 1970
System/370 evolved
 80’s to 90’s
Virtualization was only popular on personal computers.

2.  1999
VMware virtual platform introduced. It can introduced the x86 product.
 2005
Free Desktop virtualization introduced .it can encourages the consumers to play free on virtual
machines.
 2006
VMware server introduced .New level of playing field.
 2012
Private cloud introduced that are related to cloud computing. Private cloud means that any
organization which have own cloud and use services of own cloud.
